Time capsule running slow

[Drumerdude]

I had bought a time capsule and I backed up my aperture library, and when I went to use it, it took 5 minutes at the minimum to load. I didn't plug my ethernet cable into the ethernet port, but I plugged it into to port that has the dots that make a circle. I can't really describe it better, but my wifi worked and everything, it was just slow. Could somebody help me out.


Thanks

Tip for the future: Do not buy any hardware from apple. If you want an external drive, go seagate or western digital. They have long warranties and are built much better than the apple drives.

I have the same concern. TC is slow and it gives me 2MBps File Transfer rate. My netgear G router does that .

The TC is only a week old. Can I return it for full refund ?

Thanks, we did return it. I think we have an older 320gb segate that we don't use to much. We mostly use g- drives. I think we have 3. 2 500gb and 1 320? I'm not sure though. We needed the tc so we could use it on both of out computers.

Did you pay any restocking fee?
